    4 out of 5 stars Good Up to Date Account of Subject   October 12, 2007

    When I opened the package to look at this book for the first time and saw a rather anthropological looking chapter on memories - and a picture of modern Native Americans in a ceremonial wreath laying - I was concerned that I had let myself in for one of those highly abstract books of archaeological theory that so often frustrate rather than enlighten.

    Happily this impression lasted no longer than page 30. For, with the theoretical constructs dealt with, Nicholas Saunders plunges into what he does best - a thoroughly competent examination of trench art and battlefront locations. Moreover what is new here, and very much up to date, is a review of recent digs and archaeological organisations with an interest in the Western Front or Gallipoli. Included are sections on the work of the 'Diggers' and 'No Man's Land', as well as longer established bodies. There are also good sections on museums.

    Recommended for everyone with Western Front, archaeological or museological interests, collectors of trench art, and also battlefield visitors.
